Vintage Elmore Leonard – a searing tale of gambling, gangsters, hidden agendas and a whole heap of trouble from the virtuoso of American crime fiction.

Daredevil Dennis Lenahan has brought his act to the Tishomingo Lodge & Casino in Tunica, Mississippi – diving off an eighty-foot ladder into nine feet of water for the amusement of gamblers, gangsters, and luscious belles. His riskiest feat, however, was witnessing a Dixie-style mob execution while atop his diving platform.

Robert Taylor saw the hit also. A blues-loving Detroit hustler touring the Southland, Taylor’s got his own secret agenda and he wants Dennis in on the game. And high-diver Dennis could be about to take a long, fatal fall – right into a mess of hoop skirts, Civil War play-acting… and more trouble than he ever dreamed possible.
